Ok I have been looking for a stock exhaust as the one on the car was a bit of a mess. There was a stainless silencer on one side and an original silencer in poor condition on the other side, the joints and pipes corroded between the older original and the stainless add-on.
So today I had a Milltek cat-back supplied and fitted by the guys at Alloa Auto Care :thumbs up::yes nod:, great price and fantastic service. Found them on Milltek's Site, nearest dealers.
Nice one, had that on my last S :thumbsup:
Good stuff
:thumbs up:
How much, if it's not too rude an ask? I think my original system is about to pack in after 10 years of service.Quote:

That seems pretty cheap..to buy it, it's about that I'm sure...?
I know, I was even getting quotes in excess of £580 for supply only so when Andy gave me the price I booked the car in straight away. Have to say they done a great job, fitted in less than an hour and that was with bracket issues.
Nice one man! I'm gonna see if my garage can match it! Aha :)
Can you post a vid of the sound..when it's hot? Looking on YouTube right now at the JCW milltek and scorpion. Just don't know what one to go for though.
from what I could gather from looking through the vids and info I found on the net the Milltek is the quietest one, next would be the JCW and the loudest being the Scorpion but don't hold me to that. I went for the milltek and I am really pleased with it, sounds good when you are up the revs, not too loud to upset neighbours and no drone on the motorway.
Oh really...?! Jeezo. Now I'm more confused!! Lol tbh..apparently my cars already pretty loud as stock. So what's a deeper drone between a few neighbours :p it's all this chat about de-cats and all that just stresses me out lol
It can be a bit like :argh: but I'm happy to keep the cat, the milltek is louder than stock and Id say a deeper tone too, but not so much that you need :shut up: if your heading on the motorway for any length of time
Suppose that's all I'm looking for really. And a few more bangs. Time for more research! Lol
My local indy garage is quoting 550+vat to supply and fit. Will try and get him down a bit!
I know I'm biased , but what about PLAYMINI... ? :Whistle:Quote:

Milltek's a great make and a safe bet though.
Any vids?! How much...I'm honestly open to ideas. A just want one that looks good and sounds aweeeesome
No vids I'm afraid... but if you want awesome, the Playmini Manifold and exhaust certainly fits the bill. Ask anybody who heard my car!
Hmmmmmm...I'll look into it buddy! Cheers. I'll search YouTube for any clips

Yeah seen that on MT! Found a vid of the exhaust. Is probably my fave sound much am I looking at..?
I've got a scorpion on mine its just a wee bit deeper than standard
Yeah. Looked at them as well. A want something pretty deep and naaaasty! Aha :)Quote:
